Hi,

I am trying to make an installer that has checkboxes to let you add
shortcuts to the desktop and quick launch bar. I was able to get that
working well except for one small part. Right now on the initial install if
you check the box you'll get the shortcut and if you don't you wont. That is
the case on the upgrade too. But when upgrading, I want the box to be
checked by default if the user has the shortcut there already, and unchecked
otherwise. I've been having trouble getting that to work. I've tried making
the shortcuts in components in the main feature or in features in the main
feature, adn then checking if the feature/component is installed by making a
condition with something like &featName or $compName, (checking the install
state and the action state). nothing seems to work. It seems like common
functionality in most installers so I feel like I'm missing something.

Oh, and the one other thing is that I can't use the registry.

If anyone could help me that would be great.

Thanks.
